Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of George Leslie Mackay, D.D: 1844-1901 Nor did the question of the Davidic origin of the Psalms ever arise. In the strictest and most literal sense the Bible was accepted as an inspired Book, a veritable sword from the hand of God put into the hand of man for the conquest of the world for Christ. Such was the soil from which Dr. Mackay sprang and the food upon which he was fed. It put iron into his blood and enabled him for thirty years to face the foe without a question or doubt as to the final victory. The Lord had spoken, and it was not for him to make reply. He sought implicitly to obey a command from which there is no appeal. 3. Personal Appearance. - He was rather under the medium height, compactly built, deep-chested and of swarthy complexion. His eagle eye was mild and benevolent except when kindled with righteous indignation, as when, for example, discussing the treatment accorded to the Chinese by so-called Christians in America. Then his intensity was unrestrained. He sometimes lost control of himself and became painfully violent. He inherited a hardy, healthy constitution, which was never weakened by irregular habits and proved capable of extraordinary endurance when severely tested, as will appear in the story of his life. His Education. - 1. About half a mile from his fathers home stood what is still remembered in that neighborhood as the old log schoolhouse. It certainly was not an attractive building. It was small and looked as if it might have been old when it was built. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
